“Along with sections explaining what career mapping, or talent planning,
is all about, we've included some real life examples and a 4-step plan

Alongside CIPD expert opinion, a case study from RCT Homes Wales and
resources for further help and information this Blue Paper shows you
everything you need to think differently about talent management and
career planning within your organisation.
